This is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from the state of Maryland. Enrique and Felipe Pallares, originally from Ecuador, founded this winery in 2017. Good wines are being made all over these days. Garnet in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is very earthy with a bit of barnyard, but also tobacco, dried cherries and black cherries. On the palate, there is some Brettanomyces. Not off putting but noticeable. There is also some black cherry fruit and underlying forest floor. There is some complexity here.

Great showing at age 19! Purple in color with ruby hues, opaque and bright. The nose has cassis, chocolate, dust and spice. Full bodied. Medium to firm tannins. Great acidity. On the palate, this seems to be at peak and drinking great. Flavors of cassis, chocolate and slight spice. Long finish. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years. Great on its own, this will work with many foods. A great choice with a Lamb Stew.
